Lewis Hamilton: “I live to win”

Winner of the Chinese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton put an end to the incredible series of successes of Sebastian Vettel. The pilot McLaren took advantage of the wear of the German's tires to come back at him like a cannonball at the end of the race.

Before getting on the podium, Lewis Hamilton did not hide a certain emotion. “ This emotion probably comes from the desire to win, the desire to be the best and the desire to compete with the best drivers in the world, he explained at a press conference. I don't remember the last time I won, but when you haven't won in a while, it feels like an eternity. »

The 2008 world champion also ranks this success as one of the finest of his young career. “This race is in my top 3 victories, confides the Briton to the Daily Express. She is in the lead with Silverstone and Monaco in 2008. I exist, I live and I breathe to win. I love it and I couldn't be happier. Every meter of the race, every second, was incredibly enjoyable. I like being able to fight with drivers, have battles, and beat the best. »
